This event was the first downhill skateboard race at Laguna Seca in over 30 years and consisted of a one-day, hit it and quit it, 34 man invitational race; and was presented by NHS’s recently rebirthed downhill line: Road Rider.

Video: Blood Orange “Jesse Breiman”
We are on the road right now with Jesse Breiman and the rest of the Way Out Westward crew—shredding spots, acting way out, and generally living the dream. That said, we have not had a free moment to post Jesse’s new video from Blood Orange Bushings, until this morning. This is Blood Orange‘s first video, and from what we know about this crew, we expect some really rad product and skate-related radness to follow. This video is doubly dope because it also pays a little tribute to OG San Francisco/bay area artist, Jeremy Fish. Note the Silly Pink Bunnies. Peep it!
“Sorry for denting the hood of homie’s car. Ha ha! Stay tuned for a grip of new shit coming from the Blood Orange crew.” (Jesse Brieman)
